I have a homework to make simple HTML site, but I got interested into it and I went futher by self-learning.I'm trying to get active navigation tab to have other than other links and on mouse hover to change color, but it doesn't work for me.(I'm using html and css only right now)
Here's how i'm trying to do it.

Considering they are HTML 5, you should be using them where appropriate if you are working in HTML5. It gives the layout some meaning (semantics), compared to <div id="fuck"/class="shit">, which has no real meaning.

Hey I'm looking for industry standard hosting, i'm not sure if that's even a thing but is there any specific company which does it?
I have a VPS (hexxeh) but i'm unsure about my webserver setup being sufficient for a *real* purposes.

That's what I tried, but it just seemed to stretch to the content, not to the parent (which would be at least the height of the viewport).

If anyone is wondering, I'm trying to have multiple backgrounds that can be higher than the content and should not clip at the content height (and one of the backgrounds also needs to stretch with the content, but has to be under a background that does not - not really a problem, as the one that doesn't stretch can just have no-repeat on its background and the element itself can still stretch).

A friend of mine wants to buy a site which uses unlimited bandwidth (Fair-use policy)
He wants to host pretty big files on the site, which one of those is a Unity web player which tends to suck up some MB/s every day

Is it smarter for him to upload the files and perhaps get a paid account on a upload site to upload the files there or can he easily host them on he's own site?
I'm quite confused about the fair-use policy..

Fair use usually implies don't use up huge amounts of bandwith like 20gb a day or something.

I'm about to get back into HTML and since I can't really afford Dreamweaver right now (or care to purchase it given my current skill level) I was wondering what a good alternative would be.

I was thinking of using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I've been using Kompozer and was going to switch to BlueGriffon, which succeeds Nvu of which Kompozer was a fork of, but they don't seem to be well "established." I just want to use something that is closer to "industry standard" but is also not Dreamweaver.

What's wrong with you people, you don't need expensive programs, that in this case are shit, you just need something like notepad and a few settings like syntax highlighting, in the end notepad++, sublime text 2 and a few others win to the stupid expensive programs.

I guess I'm just looking for excuses to practice PHP, Everytime I learn a new ability I try to find creative ways to use it.

I am actually looking to add icons to my current site next to the words http://almost-there.org
I used iconFonts and those were fun but I didn't like having to add <span style="font-family:Icon">A</span>Forums</li> to every single word, I also loaded images individually but thought about all the requests made to the /images/ folder

Then I played with base64 and saw how they are all loaded once with a single request and really liked that. More load on the client, less on the server...

I want the border-radius to be the same at all side, but since I have a top border it changes(no idea how that is calculated). Anything I can do to change this?Edited:
is it public now?

The border radius seems the same on all sides.
Do you mean you want the corners of the darker area to be of the same radius at each corner? Because currently the border radius is applied to the top border itself, not the darker area, which makes it seem like it's not the same at the top.

Ya, that's what I meant. Is it possible to make the border radius only apply to the area with dark background, and make the border wrap around somehow?

I'm going to skin a rabbit soon. My navigation bar is messing up. I can't see any reason why.
I've implemented roll over images using CSS. originally I had a single image with all the different states and then used image position to set the image in different states. I've now tried splitting the image up and assigning different images to try and get it to work but I still get the same problem.

I can't get a recent version of phpMyAdmin to work. I've been trying for hours now.
The repository I'm using gives me an old version of phpMyAdmin when apt-get install phpmyadmin and I've been trying to figure out how to upgrade, but the thousands of web pages explaining it all does so different for each page and none of it seems to work.

Using the input="num" element, how can I force the increment/decrement to only be what the step is? It appears it uses the mouse's scroll line size times the step value.
I.E. my mouse is set to scroll 3 lines for every 1 tick. This makes a step of 5 equal 15.

I've only had a semester's worth of PHP and MySQL, and despite this I've got a job that I'm going to need to be writing web apps for. I've got the basic knowledge to do so, and a million references at hand for documentation, syntax, etc., but how do I know that my application is considered good coding? I'm going to eventually be working with creating and handling user accounts and private data, and I'm not entirely sure if I'll be able to find something already written that will suit what I need. I don't want to write a weak program, or end up writing hackish solutions to problems, only to find out that I could have easily written it cleaner, neater, and more secure.

In short, are there any resources on what constitutes good and bad coding practices or conventions?
